‘It’s funny to say the least’: Park Slope resident and ex-Mayor de Blasio eyes run for Congress in redrawn 11th District, reports say

Former Mayor Bill de Blasio is mulling a run for Congress in New York’s 11th District, according to multiple reports, as lawmakers are set to redraw to expand from Staten Island and southwest Brooklyn to include more liberal neighborhoods.

Just over a month after his departure from City Hall and following his decision not to launch a bid for governor after all, de Blasio has been making calls for a potential Democratic primary challenge for the seat currently held by Republican Nicole Malliotakis, the New York Post and Politico reported.
